Set a Placeholder Text on Login and Registration Forms Fields

[alexitillo]

Hi, I have been trying to set placeholder texts on Login and Registration Forms,
all I want is the inside the inputbox for the username it says “Type your username”,
and similar for the password.
Any guidance will be appreciated.

Hello,

With version 1.1.5rc2 you can add placeholder to your field by using hooks.

add_filter( 'user_meta_field_config', 'usePlaceholder', 10, 3 );
function usePlaceholder( $field, $fieldID, $formName ){ 
    //if( $fieldID != 'Your_Field_ID' ) 
        //return $field;
    $field['placeholder'] = $field['field_title'];
    return $field;
}

On above example, field_title will use as placeholder. For login, you can use custom form http://user-meta.com/news/build-custom-login-form/

Thanks.

I’m new to tweaking plugins, where do I put this and can I just put this in the user-meta.php and be all good to go?

Where in the .php file does it need to be?

Hi,

You can put these code into functions.php under your current theme directory. Or you can try version 1.1.7beta. With beta version, there is option inside field to put placeholder, so don’t need to place any custom code.

Thanks.
